Abstract

The escalating concerns regarding environmental safety and the potential hazards posed by poisonous gases necessitate innovative approaches for efficient detection and monitoring. This paper introduces a novel solution in the form of a remote-controlled mobile robot equipped with advanced gas-sensing technologies. The robotic system aims to autonomously navigate hazardous environments, identifying and quantifying the presence of poisonous gases in real time. The methodology involves the integration of state-of-the-art gas sensors on the four wheeled mobile robot, enabling it to perform comprehensive gas detection while being remotely controlled for optimal safety. The paper details the design and implementation of the mobile robot sensors and navigational controls, emphasizing its adaptability to various terrains and its ability to transmit real-time data to an Internet of Things (IOT) application. Results from experimental trials demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed system in detecting and mapping poisonous gas concentrations, providing a valuable tool for environmental monitoring and emergency response.
